Turn Walk-In Customers Into Loyal Regulars
An AI Marketing Copilot that brings customers back while you run your business — stamp cards, QR loyalty, and win-back campaigns for cafes, restaurants, salons, and retail. You run the business; Blinko handles the marketing.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges local businesses face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
Customers visit once and forget
Without a loyalty program, most first-time visitors never return.
Marketing is expensive
Social media ads cost more every year with diminishing returns.
No visibility into customers
You don't know who's coming, how often, or when they stopped.
Loyalty programs are a pain
Paper punch cards get lost. Apps are too complicated to set up.

expand_more
Blinko has a free plan that stays free forever. Paid plans start at $19/month (Indie) with a 30-day free trial — no credit card required.
How long does setup take?
expand_more
Most businesses go live in under 10 minutes — print your QR sticker, configure your first stamp card or welcome offer, and you are running.
Will I lose my customers if I switch from Square or Toast?
expand_more
No. Blinko sits alongside your existing POS — you keep your payment flow and just add the loyalty layer on top.
What kind of businesses use Blinko?
expand_more
Cafes, restaurants, nail salons, barbershops, retail shops, gyms, churches, yoga instructors, food trucks, and any business with repeat customers — including solo professionals without a fixed location.
Can I run a refer-a-friend campaign in Blinko?
expand_more
Yes. Blinko’s referral campaigns let your existing followers invite friends with a personalized QR coupon — both the referrer and the new customer earn a reward when the friend makes their first purchase.
Does my customer have to download an app to refer their friend?
expand_more
No. Followers share the referral coupon directly via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. The friend who receives it sees the offer instantly in the link preview, and only installs Blinko if they want to claim the reward.
Marketing CopilotWorking in the background, so you don't have to.
While you're serving customers, Blinko is watching your visit patterns and quietly doing the marketing work — so your regulars keep coming back without you lifting a finger.
Spots who's drifting away
Blinko automatically identifies customers who haven't visited in a while — before they forget you exist.
Sends the right nudge at the right time
A perfectly timed offer goes out automatically. No scheduling, no copywriting, no thinking required.
Gets smarter with every visit
Every check-in teaches Blinko more about your customers. Over time it fine-tunes who to reach and when — so results keep improving on their own.
Set it up once. Blinko runs it from there.
